To evaluate the stability of a rock slope with one pre-exiting vertical crack, this paper performs corresponding probabilistic stability analysis. The existence of cracks is generally ignored in traditional deterministic stability analysis. However, they are widely found in either cohesive soil or rock slopes. The influence of one pre-exiting vertical crack on a rock slope is considered in this study. The safety factor, which is usually adopted to quantity the stability of slopes, is derived through the deterministic computation based on the strength reduction technique. The generalized Hoek-Brown (HB) failure criterion is adopted to characterize the failure of rock masses. Considering high nonlinearity of the limit state function as using nonlinear HB criterion, the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) is used to accurately approximate the implicit limit state function of a rock slope. Then the MARS is integrated with Monte Carlo simulation to implement reliability analysis, and the influences of distribution types, level of uncertainty, and constants on the probability density functions and failure probability are discussed. It is found that distribution types of random variables have little influence on reliability results. The reliability results are affected by a combination of the uncertainty level and the constants. Finally, a reliability-based design figure is provided to evaluate the safety factor of a slope required for a target failure probability.

이 논문은 FRP시스템 외부부착공법의 조기 탈착문제를 개선하기 위해 개발된 유리섬유-강 복합판(GFSP)으로 보강된 RC보의 성능 및 파괴특성에 관한 실험적 연구다. 사용 중인 보의 손상과 재하상황을 실제적으로 모의하기 위하여, 사전균열과 반복하중이 실험변수로 채택되었다. 실험에서 GFSP 보강은 보의 강도증가, 처짐감소, 균열의 억제 등에 매우 효과적인 보강공법임이 확인되었다. 그러나 GFSP로 보강되는 보의 설계는 휨 성능에서 유리섬유의 취성거동을 고려하여야 하는 것을 보여주었다.

Crack growth rate and threshold stress intensity factor for stress corrosion cracking(SCC), $K_{ISCC}$ were measured for type 403 stainless steel in 3,5% NaCl solution at room temperature and SCC was monitored by electrochemical noise technique during $K_{ISCC}$ testing. In rising load test, pits were formed at the tip of pre-crack for the pre-cracked compact tension specimen unlike in smooth round specimen in which only unstable pits were observed and hence immune to SCC. Micro-cracks were found to initiate from the pits in the former specimen, and initiation of micro-crack as well as macro-crack was detected by electrochemical noise technique in rising load $K_{ISCC}$ tests. Crack growth rate increased with increasing either displacement rate or stress intensity factor at crack initiation and was higher in rising load $K_{ISCC}$ test compared to constant load $K_{ISCC}$ test at given stress intensities.

The crack of concrete induced by the heat of hydration is a serious problem, particularly in concrete structures such as underground box structure, mat-slab of nuclear reactor buildings, dams or large footings, foundations of high rise buildings, etc.. As a result of the temperature rise and restriction condition of foundation, the thermal stress which may induce the cracks can occur. Therefore the various techniques of the thermal stress control in massive concrete have been widely used. One of them is prediction of the thermal stress, besides low-heat cement which mitigates the temperature rise, pre-cooling which lowers the initial temperature of fresh concrete with ice flake, pipe cooling which cools the temperature of concrete with flowing water, design change which considers steel bar reinforcement, operation control and so on. The objective of this paper is largely two folded. Firstly we introduce the cracks control technique by employing low-heat cement mix and thermal stress analysis. Secondly it show the application condition of the cracks control technique like sidewall of LNG in Inchonl.

A transient pulse methos has been used to measure the permeability of Pocheon granite pre-heated from $25^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ at effective pressure up to 32MPa. The permeability of whole rock ranged from 0.72 $\mu$d at 10MPa to 0.20 $\mu$d at 32MPa. The permeability of rock heated to $600^{\circ}C$ ranged from 18.07$\mu$d at 10MPa to 6.39$\mu$d at 32MPa. Confining pressure has greater effects on the rocks thermally treated to lower thermal-cycle temperatures than on the higher thermally treated rocks. The increase of permeability is most pronounced between 40$0^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$. Below 40$0^{\circ}C$, permeability increase is expected to be associated with the formation of new cracks and widening of preexisting cracks, whereas above 40$0^{\circ}C$, permeability increase is expected to reflect widening of cracks. Using the equivalent channel model, author shows that the exponent n in the relationship relating the permebility(k) to porosity($\phi$) by k∝$$\phi$^n$ falls in the range 2.7$\leq$n$\leq$3.0.

By measuring concrete temperature and strains of concrete and reinforcing bars throughout gages embedded and also by observing the crack occurrence, this study aims at the characteristics of structural behavior of subway wall structure in associate with concrete ages. The length of 23.5m, thickness of 2.0m of real subway custody line was selected as a representative structure and 7 thermocouples and 6 strain gages were installed to measure the behavior of wall structure. The results were compared and verified with analytical results using MIDAS in order to show their usefulness. It was found that only attachment of strain gages on the surface of reinforcing bars can figure out the timing of crack occurrence and hydration heat program is useful to estimate comparatively exact magnitudes of temperature. Since estimated time of crack occurrence throughout thermal stress analysis depends on the period of transferred thermal stress from concrete to reinforcing bars, however, cracks from naked eyes were identified later than analytical results. Cracks were observed first at the center of wall line and then to the end of line symmetrically.

결정입자 크기와 광물구성 분포가 른 포천화강암, 거창화강암, 상주화강암을 실험 대상으로 선택하여 $600^{\circ}C$까지 예열처리하였다. 예열에 따른 열균열의 발생 정도를 조사하기 위하여 연마편에 대한 반사현미경 관찰을 실시하였으며, 예열시험편의 변형거동에 열균열이 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 단축압축시험을 수행하였다. 현미경 관찰 결과에 의하면 암종에 관계없이 $600^{\circ}C$예열시험편의 결정 경계부에서는 대부분 경계균열이 발생하였으며, 많은 결정입자에서 입자 내 균열고 관찰되었다. 특히, 입자 내 균열은 거창화강암과 포천화강암에서 현저히 많은 것으로 나타났다. 예열시험편에 대한 단축압축시험 결과 일정한 응력수준까지 음의 횡변형율이 발생하는 비정상적인 변형거동이 나타났으며 이로 인해 음의 포아송비기 발생하였다. 음의 횡변형율은 예열시험편의 냉각과정동안 결정입자의 유발된 잔류응력에 의해 발생하는 것으로 생각된다.

Smart sensors and actuators have recently been developed. In this study, first, small-diameter fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors developed by the author, whose cladding and polyimide coating diameters were 40 and $52{\mu}m$, respectively, were embedded inside a laminate without resin-rich regions around sensors and the deterioration of mechanical properties of the composite laminate. The small-diameter FBG sensor was embedded in $0^{\circ}$ ply of a CFRP laminate for the detection of transverse cracks in $90^{\circ}$ ply of the laminate. The reflection spectra from the FBG sensor were measured at various tensile stresses. The spectrum became broad and had some peaks with an increase of the transverse crack density. Furthermore, the theoretical calculation reproduced the change in the spectrum very well. These results show that the small-diameter FBG sensors have a potential to detect the occurrence of transverse cracks through the change in the form of the spectrum, and to evaluate the transverse crack density quantitatively by the spectrum width. On the other hand, shape memory alloy (SMA) films were used to suppress the initiation and growth of transverse cracks in CFRP laminates. Pre-strained SMA films were embedded between laminas in CFRP laminates and then heated to introduce the recovery stress in SMA films and compressive stresses in the weakest plies ($90^{\circ}$ ply). The effects of recovery stresses are demonstrated in the experiments and well predicted using the shear-lag analysis and the nonlinear constitutive equation of SMA films.

균열점토에 대한 강섬유 사용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 균열이 있는 보강점토와 비보강점토 시료에 대한 일축압축실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 강섬유 보강으로 인하여 균열의 시작과 진행에 대한 저항력에 증가하므로써 균열 시작시 응력과 파괴시 극한응력이 증가되었다. 균열의 시작과 진행에 대한 저항력의 증가는 점토시료에서 강섬유에 의한 균열진행의 억제 또는 진행방향의 변경과 관련되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 파괴역학 이론과 섬유로 보강된 물질에서의 일반미케니즘을 적용하여 실험결과에 대한 이론적인 해석이 이루어졌다. 해석결과 강섬유의 인발작용을 통한 연결효과로 인하여 시료에서 균열의 진행에 대한 저항력이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 이론적인 분석에 의하여 예측된 인발력은 인발실험으로 부터 산정된 값과 비교적 잘 일치되었다.
